How notes work - Visibility
By default, notes are posted as "Public" and appear on timelines that anyone can see. You can change the visibility from "🌐 Public" (①) at the top right of the posting form.


- Public (this is the default)
- Visible to everyone.
- Also appears on the "Local timeline" and on the "Global timeline", which users on other servers can see too.
- If your account is silenced, you cannot post with Public visibility.
- Home
- Visible to everyone.
- Does not appear on the "Local timeline", but appears on the "Home timeline", the "Social timeline", and your own profile.
- Followers
- Visible only to "your followers".
- Direct
